Sometimes, I look at a new mother in total adoration. This was the case with this beautiful mama.

Welcoming a new baby is no easy fete, especially when you already have toddlers running around. But welcoming a new baby when you have 20 month old twins, and doing it all with patience and grace, is nothing short of amazing.

This mother radiates love and joy for her beautiful new family of 5.

This father is completely enamored for his house full of girls.

Sweet Hattie, you were meant to be in this family surrounded by so much love.

What a lucky girl you are.

Many times, new moms schedule a maternity session to document this amazing time in their life. And there is something so incredible about expecting your first little one. Everything is so new and so exciting, you don't know what to expect. And I absolute love the beauty of the anticipation of a couple waiting to become parents.

For this Mama, it was so much more. She never invested in maternity portraits for her children in the past. But knowing that this will be the last time she will be pregnant, she wanted to document this. Because expecting your last baby is just as exciting and emotional as expecting your first.

When you are a mom of young kids, it is so hard to imagine your life without a baby. You often feel like you are always pregnant or always changing diapers or covered in spit up or chasing a rambunctious 2 year old. It is hard. And so many times you say "this is it, this is my last baby".

But then it hits you... This is it. This is your last baby. This is the last time you will have that excitement of the first flutters or feeling him kick. This is the last time you'll have your bump. The last time. And you begin savoring every minute of it.

Pregnancy is so beautiful, whether it be your first or your last or any one in between. Expecting a new one always comes with new excitement, new joys, and new fears.

I love that this Mama chose to document her final pregnancy as a way to say goodbye to this stage of life.

This year has flown by, but it has been so amazing watching sweet Emme grow and learn and discover new things.

She has really been a wonderful addition to our family. We are so blessed to have her in our lives.

I hope your birthday is as sweet as you are.

Happy First Birthday, my sweet girl.

We love you!

This gorgeous family welcomed this sweet little girl into their family just in time for the holiday season. What a perfect gift!

I adore that all of these children were named after classic literary characters! How fun is that?!

And it is so easy to see from these images, little girl, you are so very very loved!
